Price Gouging | Targeting Seniors | Jeff Koons

Price Gouging – A 60 MINUTES investigation looks into how the Pentagon, and taxpayers, get taken advantage of by U.S. defense contractors. Bill Whitaker sits down with former top contract negotiator Shay Assad, who says the accountability system in the Dept of Defense is broken, and major defense companies are flush with excess cash to hand out to shareholders.

Targeting Seniors  Cyber con artists using artificial intelligence, apps, and social engineering are targeting parents and grandparents, scamming them out of what now totals 10 billion dollars a year in America. Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with victims, law enforcement, and technology consultants about ways to protect seniors from these widespread cons.

Jeff Koons – Anderson Cooper profiles Jeff Koons, one of the world's most prominent and polarizing artists. Known for making sculptures and paintings inspired by everyday objects or famous characters, his works can take decades to create and push the boundaries of technology and sometimes taste. Koons shows Cooper some of his latest work at a stone workshop in Pennsylvania and his studio in New York, where he gives 60 MINUTES a look at what he hopes will be a permanent art exhibit on the moon.
